Jonathan Ellis commented on CASSANDRA-749:
------------------------------------------

> First, they're hosted on Bigtable, so of course they need timeouts. Second, 
> they have a section titled "Constraints Precede Performance", which shows why 
> you should constrain queries rather than allowing queries that will be slow.

The point is that indexed queries are *still slow* (hundreds of ms) on app 
engine.

> This applies to both local and distributed indexes

But with local it's all ... local.

> This was one of the points of that timeout parameter being set higher than a 
> write might take to complete: if a write was still in progress (view clock 
> doesn't match base clock), we wouldn't populate the view. 

This is failing the "complex solutions will bite you" smoke test.

> Secondary indices for column families
